Solitaire Rules

Foundations
(4 piles: complete these piles to win the game)

• The foundations are not built on directly.

• The 10 piles are tableau and foundations both at the same time and all building is on the tableau.

• When a sequence (an entire suite of 13 cards) becomes exposed, it is automatically moved to a foundation.

• The game is won if all 8 sequences are discarded (when you discard the two decks in 8 sequences and nothing is left on the tableau).

Tableau
(10 columns)

• Build down regardless of suit (for example, a 5 can be played on a 6).

• The top card of each column is available for play to another tableau column.

• Cards of the same suit and in a descending sequence may be moved as a unit, in whole or in part, to another column (groups of cards not of the same suit cannot be moved).

• Nothing can be placed on an Ace (a King cannot move, except to an empty space).

• Spaces may be filled with any available card or packed sequence.

Stock

• Click once on the stock to deal a new row of cards to the tableau.

• There is no redeal.
